This might be because docker-based deployments seem to be no longer supported as of Che 7. See #13002 (comment)

This was fixed when we switched to the lowercase rc as of 7.0.0-rc-3.0.

https://github.com/eclipse/che/releases/tag/7.0.0-rc-3.0

So you should be able to update from beta-5 to rc-4 now.
