If you used conda to install blast+ then you should have a reasonably latest version. Your local firewall rules probably prohibit you from using NCBI FTP server. If this is a laptop have you tried to use it from some other location?

You may be aware but nr database is several hundred GB in size. So keep that in mind in terms of bandwidth and local storage.
