Assuming your field ‘latest_news’ is taxonomy field with single selection and returning the term object.

the ‘category_name’ is actually not name, it’s the slug. (i know… it’s confusing :/)

So, you query should be:

$category = get_field('latest_news'); // change your variable name so it doesn't confuse yourself

$posts = get_posts(array(
    'posts_per_page'  => 2,
    'post_type'     => 'post',
    'category_name' => $category->slug, // this is using slug, not name
    'cat' => $category->term_id // or you can do this instead
));
