I went through this same problem.  I don’t install all of the plugins on my mythbuntu boxes, but mythplugins-light had some plugins that I didn’t use.   So, when I ran mythplugins for the first time, it had to do the upgrade, but for me, the upgrade happened right from the screen you are seeing, I simply said ok or clicked next or something on the screen (I don’t recall what the button said).  

Here is what I would suggest, log into your backend, do a backup of the database to the local filesystem (since your NAS is offline), reboot that raspberry pi, do the upgrade from that screen, and let us know how it goes.
