Latex attributes have to go above the =#+results: name= line so that
babel doesn't get confused. If you put it in between the name and file
link, re-running the block will generate a new one, as babel won't
recognize it. This seems to work for me, though from a previous email
I took a cue that I believe you need to also specify it as a float.[1]
Someone else can correct if that's wrong!

#+begin_src org

#+attr_latex: :float t :placement [b]
#+RESULTS: test
[[file:test.pdf]]

#+end_src

I get this as a result:

#+begin_src latex

\section{Some text}
\label{sec-1}
\begin{figure}[b]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.9\linewidth]{test2.pdf}
\end{figure}

#+end_src

This pushes it to the bottom for me!
