Jones denied Arkell Jude-Boyd in first-half stoppage time, but Archer was given space to put Cheltenham in front with an effort that curled into the top right corner for his first EFL goal.
Adelakun was sent on in the 57th minute and with almost his first touch he stroked the equaliser past Owen Evans on the hour.
Salford looked the more likely winners and Adelakun won it in the 86th minute with another vicious shot, giving Evans no chance.
