First, your additional line comes too late. The rule before catches everything you want to match.
Second, it doesn’t what you want. Your …
RewriteRule /([0-9]+/?)$ /about/latest-news/$1 [NC,L]
… matches requests like example.com//0000000000000000000/ or example.com/about/latest-news/2010/ (infinite loop!).
The first argument for RewriteRule omits the starting /.
To match year archives you need rather:
RewriteRule ^(\d\d\d\d)/?$ /about/latest-news/$1 [NC,L]
I’m not sure if you really need mod_rewrite for that. Try the following line above the rewrite block:
RedirectMatch Permanent ^/(\d\d\d\d)/?$ /about/latest-news/$1
You have to tell WordPress about your custom archive permalinks. You should find enough good examples under the tag.
