See

        (info "(org) results")

and note the difference between `:results output' and `:results value' (the 
default).

Since you want the printed version of the R object, you should use 

        `:results output latex'

to pass the printed output to the org #+Results or 

        `:results raw :wrap export latex'

to pass the unadorned value.  In your use case they seem to produce the same 
#+Results.
