Update your mirrorlist by ranking world servers:

sudo reflector --sort age --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Or, by country (if your country has multiple fast servers):

sudo reflector --country US --latest 15 --age 2 --fastest 20 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Then:

pacman -Syyu

After that try try installing the kernels again.

btw virtualbox just got an update now it works with 5.10 kernel. after updating vbox restart your pc.

sudo reflector --country US --latest 15 --age 2 --fastest 20 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

i dont understand why it says timeout, if i manually click those links they are working.

Well that's strange I just used that command to rank the US mirrors and updated just fine.

Try:

sudo reflector --country Germany --latest 5 --age 2 --fastest 5 --protocol https --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist && sudo pacman -Syyu

sudo pacman -Syyu --disable-download-timeout
