Not the right tests. What you should do:

1) dig to the Linode resolvers. If the resolver is 2001:db8:1::53,
then :

dig @2001:db8:1::53 A ns5.net.ca.gov

then the same with +cd (I don't know if Linode resolvers validate with
DNSSEC)

2) dig to the authoritative resolvers to see if it is a network
problem. Their addresses are 205.225.182.2, 134.186.254.247 and
205.225.182.66. So:

dig @205.225.182.2 SOA ca.gov

By the way, there IS something wrong in net.ca.gov. Name resolution of
the nameservers' names servfails. To quote DNSviz "DNSKEYs exist for
algorithm(s) 8, 7 in the net.ca.gov zone, but the net.ca.gov/SOA RRset
was not signed by any DNSKEY with algorithm(s) 7."
