Check if some filesystem is not suffer lack of space:

#> vdf -h

It could be related with VM Tools vib. Download it manually, install and then try to upgrade host.

#> esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e true -r httpClient

#> cd /tmp/

#> wget http://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/esx/vmw/vib20/tools-light/VMware_locker_to...

#> esxcli software vib install -f -v /tmp/VMware_locker_tools-light_10.2.0.7253323-8169922.vib

#> esxcli software profile update -d https://hostupdate.vmware.com/software/VUM/PRODUCTION/main/vmw-depot-index.xml -p ESXi-6.7.0-8169922-standard

#> esxcli network firewall ruleset set -e false -r httpClient
