I essentially vote for "no". The reason is, unless they've specifically asked you to contact them when you've created something new (or for any other reason), you'd essentially be spamming them.

I think I'd be a bit disconcerted to receive a mail out of the blue from someone I contacted once to offer feedback. Also, I assume you posted that fic in the places you'll planning to now - if they found it in those places then, I assume they'd also do so in future. It seems a little redundant.

Yeah, very true - spamming is not a good thing.

Some of the people I did exchange several emails with and there were a few who asked me to notify then when I uploaded new chapters. But that was long ago anyway, and like you said, if they found the fic in those places before they'll find it again.

Well, I certainly think if they asked you to let them know when new stuff was available, that's just fine. It was more if it was a one-off kind of interchange that new emails might seem a tad spammy. :-)
