If the user is manually inserting the 12000 in the Account detail page, then the validation rule will be fired and the error message will be dispalyed.
If the user is updating the Account record's number field value as 12000 via a workflow rule, then the validation rule will not fire as in Salesforce, validation rules are not applicable/fired when the record updates are made via workflow rules.
The above condition will throw an error saying "A flow trigger failed to execute a flow with its Workflow Id". So it is not possible to update a field by workflow/Process Builder/Trigger by going beyond of validation rule.
