Since RBC don't have nucleus why hemolysis is a risk factor for gout?

hemolysis can cause hyperuricemia, a risk factor for gout.

what about the destruction of the nucleated retriculoytes ?

Hemolysis will drive increased cell turnover (reticulocyte response), which means there will be augmented conversion of purines to uric acid via xanthine and hypoxanthine.
