Solution
- Exit the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard.
- Install all CUs up through your farm's current patch level (March 2013, December 2013, etc). Note: the March 2013 CU must be installed first prior to installing any of the subsequent CUs. This does not apply if you are installing SP1, which does not require the March 2013 CU and is fully self-contained.
- Re-run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard.
- SharePoint 2010 Installations: Adding a second server to an existing SharePoint Server Farm
- SharePoint in a 3 Tier farm
- Updates for SharePoint 2013
- I verified that the farm administration account was mapped to the configuration database as dbo. Thus, at least in this case, the cause for this problem did not involve permissions. But note that incorrect permissions can result in the same error message (see reference 1).

Thanks. This was my problem. Was adding a new application server to the farm and needed to install SP1 and May 2015 CU and it work.
