The cotter pin wont stop the nut from loosening, only from coming off once it does.
Something is wonky in there - either the hub, carrier/upright or axle, or all of them - but any movement in there will cause the bearing to fail prematurely.
Torquing the axle nut down like that should NOT cause the bearing to fail quickly like it did. Its common practice on track cars to torque those nuts to 250 ft-lbs or more.
