If you bought that extra iCloud storage just to update your iPad, it doesn't change the situation (perhaps it is a problem related to your iPad internal storage, and there's no way to increase that storage, except deleting some unused stuff).

If you bought it to have more space to backup your iPad content to iCloud, then it's okay, but it might take a couple of days to get it.
